here comes a storm in the form of a girl

About Me

I live in Greensboro with Al and our two obnoxious cats, Cupcake and Mia. I like to make and sell Renaissance garb when I have time and motivation, but officially I work as a seamstress at an alterations shop. I'm usually pretty laid back, but I don't put up with bullshit - I'm 50% Irish with 100% of the temper. I'm still nice, though, damn it. I can get along with almost anyone, but blend best with girls that tend not to like girls, and cats that tend to hate people. Go figure.

My Interests

Sewing/Costuming, Corsets, Corsetry, Renaissance Faires, Ancient Egypt, Archaeology, Anthropology, Ab Fab, my kitty, things that smell pretty, kicking ass at flip-cup, forcing my kitty to cuddle with me, forcing my boyfriend to cuddle with me, and watching tv shows that he hates. :)

I'd like to meet:

Jennifer Saunders, Cher, Sylvia Brown, Oprah, Anne Rice, Alan Rickman, Johnny Depp, Bono, a ton of pro-wrestlers, and [insert any sexies here]. Oh, and Lestat. Because he's real. Duh.

adopt your own virtual pet!

Username:

Personality cocktail

You Belong in Dublin
Friendly and down to earth, you want to enjoy Europe without snobbery or pretensions.
You're the perfect person to go wild on a pub crawl... or enjoy a quiet bike ride through the old part of town. What European City Do You Belong In?

Music:

All of it. Well... most of it. Okay, okay, at least half of it. I like all different kinds of music; particularly happy music, since it affects my mood more than I think is normal. I bend the rules for NIN.

Movies:

Sweeney Todd, Boondock Saints, Pulp Fiction, Empire Records, The Crow, Harry Potter, Pirates, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Neverending Story, Ever After, Enchanted, Legend, Rocky Horror Picture Show, 10 Things I Hate About You (shut up), Edward Scissorhands... Oh, and, Ab Fab. Et cetera.

Television:

Absolutely Fabulous, LOST, Bones, House, Sex and the City, Weeds, Rock of Love (I can't help it!!!), Oprah, Aqua Teen, Crossing Jordan, VH1 "Fabulous Life of" series and "I love the 70s, 80s, 90s," Project Runway, Top Model... It may sound like I'm addicted to TV, but I'm really not. Most of this crap gets DVR'd and then it takes me forever to get around to watching them.

Books:

Vampire Chronicles; The Memoirs of Cleopatra; anything by Karen Marie Moning; The Dark Jewels Trilogy; Ancient Egypt textbooks; Outlander... the list goes on and on.

Heroes:

Lestat, Cher, Edina Monsoon... and Karen from Will&Grace.

This doctor crap is getting ridiculous.

Interesting thing happened when I went to the doctor on Thursday. Al came in with me. He's never been in there with me before, because he usually has to go right back to work and then I call him to ge...

Do what, now?

Cymbalta makes me feel like I need to vom. Even swallowing is tricky. But I still have klonopin, so I'll be okay. She said I can take them at the same time and after a few weeks I shouldn't feel like...

No bull - I rode a bull!

So yesterday was pretty awesome for me. On Wednesday, Al told me to wake him up early because he had to be at work early, so I did, and then went to the shower. When I got out, I heard him clanging ar...
